Got my battery tray mounted and the new cables ran.
Edit- not the battery I'm going to use. It's a dead one I used for fitment.

Keep up the good work, I'm going to be going through the same process more or less,
On a side note, I'm digging the color, what brand engine enamel did you use?

-Jims88- Thanks! To answer your question from way before when we where talking about broken vises. The od claims 179k. The only thing the other owners did to her was the timing gear.
-Squidhyxout- Chevy orange from VHT Engine Enamel. Also highly recommend there primer. Good stuff.
Heres a side by side of my new gear reduction starter next to what I can only assume is the factory starter. (still worked, certainly had enough lube from my bad oil pan seal.)
Got most of the wiring back on. the dog-bone went on without much hassel and I reran the new battery cables so there not touching anything that gets hot or moves.

Why is your battery in the trunk?

Why not? It's out from under the deck lid vent, so that will have much better airflow out. (remember that air comes up from the bottom of the car, not in.)
It's also not exposed to the snow and ice during the winter.
I'm not building a track car. A 96hp iron duke will see to that. I'm 6'2'' and 240 pounds. I think the battery in the rear trunk will not make too much of a difference.

Wanted to ask what this connections point is....
The plastic bit with 2 bolt studs needs to be replaced as they both spin when you try to put the nuts on.

That is the Battery Junction Terminal.
The same style is used on several GM models from the 80's and 90's.
